Winter is totally the best season. I say this as someone living in a state shaped like a mitten. Winter is awesome, because no matter how cold it gets, you can always just throw on another blanket, or throw more wood on the fire. Summer sucks, because after a certain point, you can't remove more clothing.

Talking about the art: I really like this. Both because of the experiment you pulled with the color scheme, and because of the style itself. You managed to use a style that is wholly your own, while still making it obvious that we're looking at a pony. It's impressive.
